As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Burroughs offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: An OB/GYN plays a vital role in helping women with pre-existing diabetes manage their condition for a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- High Risk Pregnancy: High-risk pregnancies involve increased chances of problems like preeclampsia or premature birth, requiring an OB/GYN's expert monitoring and treatment.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure.
- Vaginal Prolapse: Vaginal prolapse is when the vagina's supporting tissues weaken, causing the vaginal walls or other pelvic organs to bulge or drop into the vagina.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is when a baby in the uterus is not growing at the expected rate; your OB/GYN can help identify potential problems and develop a care plan.
- Twin Pregnancy: A twin pregnancy is when a woman carries two babies at the same time, requiring specialized care from an OB/GYN to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery for both mother and babies.
- Mastodynia: OB/GYNs are skilled in managing mastodynia, helping women understand the potential causes of their breast pain and providing relief through medication, self-care techniques, or further investigation.
- Placenta Previa: In placenta previa, the placenta attaches low in the uterus, potentially blocking the cervix. Your OB/GYN will manage this high-risk pregnancy to keep you and your baby safe.
- Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: Pregnancy can sometimes complicate existing blood disorders or trigger new ones; your OB/GYN will provide specialized care to minimize risks.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): Your OB/GYN is key to managing HPV, a virus that can cause cervical cancer and other health concerns, by providing regular screenings and guiding you on preventative care.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Menopause and postmenopause bring about various physical and emotional changes; your OB/GYN helps you navigate these, offering support and treatment options.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: OB/GYNs specialize in managing ectopic pregnancies, a serious condition where the embryo develops outside the womb, potentially causing complications.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Burroughs offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Fetal Cardiac Screening: A non-invasive procedure that assesses your baby's heartbeat and rhythm to ensure its healthy development.
- Pap Smear: During a Pap smear, your doctor takes a small sample of cells from your cervix to detect any abnormalities or infections.
- Myomectomy: Myomectomy is a surgery to take out fibroids (benign tumors) in the uterus, often relieving symptoms and preserving fertility.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: Salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgery that removes the ovaries and fallopian tubes, leading to the end of menstruation and a reduction in certain cancer risks.
- Fetal Ultrasound: To assess your baby's health and your pregnancy's progress, your doctor will likely use a fetal ultrasound, a painless and safe imaging technique.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Knowing your genetic risk for breast cancer through screening can inform decisions about preventative steps like increased mammograms or even preventative surgeries.
- STD Screening: Regular STD screenings are important for preventing the spread of infections and protecting your sexual health.
- Vaginosis Screening: During a vaginosis screening, your doctor will take a sample from your vagina to look for abnormal bacteria and provide appropriate care.
- First Trimester Screening: This early pregnancy screening helps assess the risk of your baby having certain genetic conditions like Down syndrome or Trisomy 18.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Doctors assess whether a vaginal delivery or VBAC is appropriate based on the individual's medical history and current pregnancy.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: Ultrasound imaging during pregnancy helps diagnose potential problems, such as birth defects or complications, allowing for early intervention.
- C-Section: When vaginal delivery isn't possible or safe, a C-section is a surgical option to deliver the baby.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Burroughs:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Burroughs, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist focuses on the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Burroughs is trained in both and provides care for women throughout their lives.
- At what age should I (or my daughter) have my first gynecologist visit?
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a first gynecologist visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial visit is often a conversation about healthy habits and establishing a relationship, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that affects your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms can be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Burroughs can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- My partner and I are having trouble getting pregnant. When should we see a doctor?
- Couples should generally seek a fertility evaluation if they have not conceived after one year of trying (if the woman is under 35) or after six months (if the woman is 35 or older). Dr. Burroughs can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps, or referral to a fertility specialist, as needed.
- What is the HPV vaccine and who should get it?
- The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine that protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts. It's recommended for all preteens, both boys and girls, at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well. This vaccination is important for preventing these potentially serious health issues.
- I'm pregnant. When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
- Call our office as soon as you have a positive home pregnancy test. Your first prenatal appointment is typically scheduled for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and creating a plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Burroughs provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. She discusses the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and provides screenings for bone density and heart health.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. Most breast lumps are benign, but any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Burroughs will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
